It’s like an Ice Pick in my Brain (disable the system beep on a VM)

The horrible, horrible system beep is an artifact of an ancient time when computers were too much like R2-D2, communicating in a series of beeps and whistles only understood by hammy 70’s actors.

Today, to get rid of the wretched beep you have to disable the BEEP service. Pretty simple.

sc config BEEP start= disabled
net stop BEEP

I can’t take credit for this, I found the solution here Disable the Beep in a Virtual Machine on Virtual Server.
